What to expect

  1. Cape Coast Castle
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Cape Coast Castle is a historic fortification located on the coast of Ghana in West Africa. Built by European traders in the 17th century, the castle served as a key hub for the transatlantic slave trade. It was initially constructed by the Swedish in 1653 and later expanded by the British in the 18th century. Cape Coast Castle played a significant role in the trafficking of enslaved Africans, serving as a departure point for thousands bound for the Americas. Today, it stands as a poignant symbol of the brutal legacy of slavery, and it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle now serves as a museum and memorial, offering insights into this dark chapter of human history.
  2. Assin Manso Ancestral Slave River Park
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Assin Manso Slave Market and River is a historic site in Ghana that played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade. Located in the Central Region of Ghana, Assin Manso was a crucial junction where enslaved Africans were held before being transported to the coast for shipment to the Americas. The site features remnants of the former slave market where enslaved individuals were bought and sold, as well as the Assin Manso River, where captured Africans were bathed and branded before being marched to the coast. Today, Assin Manso serves as a memorial and educational site, commemorating the lives lost and honoring the resilience of those who endured the horrors of slavery. It stands as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the transatlantic slave trade and the importance of remembering and learning from this dark chapter in human history.
  3. Kakum National Park
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Kakum National Park is a protected rainforest reserve located in the Central Region of Ghana, West Africa. Established in 1992, the park covers an area of about 375 square kilometers and is renowned for its rich biodiversity and pristine natural beauty. One of the park's most famous features is its canopy walkway, which is suspended high above the forest floor and offers visitors a thrilling opportunity to experience the rainforest from a unique perspective. Kakum National Park is home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, including numerous species of birds, butterflies, and mammals, such as forest elephants, monkeys, and antelope. The park also plays a vital role in conservation efforts, protecting endangered species and providing crucial habitat for wildlife. Visitors to Kakum National Park can enjoy guided nature walks, birdwatching, and educational programs aimed at raising awareness about the importance of rainforest conservation.
  4. Elmina Castle

    Walk through the slave dungeons where men and women were kept in harsh conditions before being taken away on ships.
    See the "Door of No Return," the last place many enslaved Africans passed through.
    Visit the governor’s quarters, which shows the contrast between the lives of the captors and the captives.
